Singapore, 25 July 2011 – Filming begins this week on What to Expect When You Are Expecting, an adaptation of the best-selling, most beloved pregnancy book in the world. The wildly original romantic comedy that follows the relationship of four couples as they experience the excitement, trepidation, humor, and heartburn of preparing to embark on life’s biggest journey: parenthood.
Billed in the vein of LOVE ACTUALLY and VALENTINE’S DAY, the impressive ensemble cast includes Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, Matthew Morrison, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Anna Kendrick, Brooklyn Decker, Rob Huebel and Chris Rock
Jennifer Lopez will play Holly in one of the film’s the interlocking stories, a woman who adopts a baby from abroad with her husband after difficulty conceiving.
Matthew Morrison’s character Evan is teamed up with Cameron Diaz’s Jules on a popular celebrity dance show. All their heat on and off the dance floor soon sparks a bun in the oven that will force them to synch their bi-coastal lives and reassess what matters in life – all while in the national spotlight.
Chace Crawford will play Marco. His character reunites with an attractive old flame, played by Anna Kendrick after a turf war between their respective food trucks, and they embark on a funny, poignant journey together in the wake of a surprise pregnancy.
Elizabeth Banks’ character is a baby-crazy author of a children’s book about breast feeding and owner of The Breast Choice boutique, she is militant in her beliefs about what makes a good mother until she gets pregnant for the first time.
Rob Huebel will play Gale, a member of a motley crew of new dads who congregate in a city park in what is considered part play group, part secret society. And Brooklyn Decker will play Skyler, the perennially perky character, who is married to a much older man, sails through her pregnancy with twins much to the consternation of her peers.
